Don McCullin (English, born 1935)

Don McCullin is one of Britain's best known photojournalists. He made his name in the 1960s, covering most of the world's major conflicts for the 'Observer' and then 'The Sunday Times'. In Cyprus, Vietnam, Biafra and the Lebanon he provided direct and disturbing imagery of the effects of human cruelty through warfare, poverty or enforced starvation. The shift towards lifestyle journalism in the 1980s saw McCullin forced from 'The Sunday Times'. He was prevented by censors from covering the Falklands War. Since 1985 he has worked as a freelance photographer, most recently publishing a book on India.
